Stewed Beef & Rice

 This is a meal I looked forward to eating growing up.  Hot off the stove and served with a veggie and a homemade biscuit or some cornbread and you are set.  This is a one pot very easy meal.  Takes a little time but it is well worth it, I promise.  The big key is making sure everything is seasoned well and making sure you do not over cook the rice.  If its not seasoned well, then you run the risk of it being bland.  And we all know that over cooked rice is just not good.  So if you nail those you are going to be set with a wonderful comforting meal!! Hope you enjoy!!
